I cannot give you a picture of the variety since CoinFacts has none.

But here is the URL/photo of the non-variety:

http://www.PCGScoinfacts.com/Coin/Detail/9647

and the complete name of the variety:

1991-W $5 Mount Rushmore Mint Engraver Series Mercanti, DC (Proof)

I'd like the side-by-side of the variety vs the normal to see the nuances.

I apologize if I've misunderstood your question, but the variety you reference is a PCGS insert variety not a coin variety.

Please clarify a 'PCGS insert variety' insofar as its diff. between a 'coin variety'. I'm unfamiliar with this.
Rest in Peace

I think he means the coin is the same, but the Engraver Series is just a PCGS label variety, that is just a special label on the slabbed coin.

Instead of having the standard PCGS blue paper insert that simply lists the name of the coin, its date, its denomination, etc., a custom insert was used for the "Engraver Series" that was visually different from the standard and included space for a Mercanti signature.

The coins in the two different holders are the same, however.
